some of the Future Humber and Bondholders team headed to London to support the launch of UK Tech Cluster Group’s report into ‘Four Big Ideas’ for regional tech in Parliament.
Along with representatives from C4DI and other organisations around the Humber, we attended the launch in Parliament of UKTCG’s latest report ‘Ecosystems of Innovation’, looking at grassroots activity in the regions and how potential can be harnessed for growth. UK Tech Cluster Group (UKTCG) members work with tech businesses of all sizes, across all tiers of government and with partners in other key sectors driving our economies.
The report outlines ‘Four Big Ideas’ to transform our economy:
- A globally competitive tech talent pipeline in every region
- Driving digital innovation at the foundations
- A UK innovation policy which gives every place a chance
- Mobilising ecosystems to help businesses to start and grow
The reception was hosted by Alex Davies-Jones, Shadow Minister for the Home Office and Former Shadow Minister for Tech and the Digital Economy.
Katie Gallagher, Chair of UKTCG gave an overview of the report and C4DI’s MD John Connolly helped present part of the report. Saqib Bhatti MP, Minister for Tech and the Digital Economy, and Matt Rodda MP, Shadow Minister for AI & Intellectual Property, shared their insights with us.
